Description
Diana Martinez will share the background of the Japanese art form known as “Ukiyo-e,” or “floating world images,” in which artists depict an idealized world of grandeur, class, wit, style, and pleasure, created during Japan’s Edo Period (1603-1868). Works by acclaimed artists Hokusai and Hiroshige provide a window into life during a time when the City of Edo (present-day Tokyo) thrived as the center of Japan’s economy and culture. In addition, Martinez will give you an inside sneak peek into the exhibition coming this summer to the McAninch Arts Center and Cleve Carney Museum of Art. For adults and high school students.
